3-5 inches of new snow expected Thursday afternoon

Light snow with freezing drizzle overnight left Door County covered with a crusty snow that crunched underfoot Thursday morning.

Travel was a little slower than usual, but the county was still open with no school cancellations reported as of 6:15 a.m. The Luxemburg-Casco School District, just to the south of Door County, planned to open two hours late.

The National Weather Service extended the winter weather advisory to midnight Thursday. Periods of freezing drizzle and light snow early this morning are expected to change to just snow by late morning. The snow will become steadier and heavier this afternoon and continue into the evening, then diminish overnight.

Snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches is currently expected; Kewaunee and Manitowoc counties can expect as much as 4 to 6 inches.

The NWS said poor travel conditions are expected into Thursday evening. The afternoon commute could be especially rough because heavy snow could be affecting the area at that time.

Once the storm passes through, we're expecting sunny skies Friday and Saturday with highs of 25 on Friday and 31 Saturday. Sunday will bring a chance of snow before noon, then a chance of rain and snow mixed, and a high of 35.
